Nobody in the USA made a nice 6809 machine. Mind you in hindsight 64k ram
is too small many real problems on a computer. Split code and data (64k)
is better but I don't think the 6809 would let you do that.

Sufficiently retro to be interesting.
I saw the article in Poptronics. Instead of looking for CMOS raam, can
you see the owner of that board looking for a 12AT7 at the local Radio
Shack???
